Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 169 The Tree Sea Returns to Tranquility (Revised Version, Speedrun), The Sulking Firefly

After the gold dust and dragon crystal left, the others also left shortly afterward.

Only Ye Tianyu, the Sunday siblings, and director Rick remained at the scene.

Everyone else went elsewhere, doing their own thing, or even leaving the dream.

While Portio went off to find good wine, and Fireworks went out to have some fun, the crew of the Star Train went to various places to continue their previous explorations or returned to the train, and the Great Black Tower went to find that former genius club member, now the 79th prisoner, whose name I think is... Chadwick?
I just learned the specific details from Xing; I only heard it from him…

The other person's name is Chadwick, also from the Genius Club, and he seems to be imprisoned by his family.

However, the specific details are unknown.

Daheita was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

After all, Chadwick, even though she had never met him, had heard of him to some extent.

Of course, I only learned about it from other geniuses.

All that is known is that the other party made great progress in his specialized fields, including solid physics, imaginary number application theory and orbital mechanics, and even created a powerful weapon. However, he disappeared without a trace four Amber Ages ago (that is, several Star Ages ago, not long after Black Tower became a member of the Genius Club). Other geniuses all thought that he was also a genius who did not care about lifespan.

But they never imagined that someone would be imprisoned by another person.

So she decided to make the trip. After all, imprisoning a member of the Genius Club was no different from slapping these geniuses in the face.

She planned to first go to the place where she met the other party to see this genius who was now officially deceased.

Unfortunately, they were stopped outside by hunting dogs, who claimed they were protecting the other party.

Ha... But these words confirmed to the Great Black Tower that the family was imprisoning a genius.

She truly never imagined that someone would actually imprison a genius.

However, after thinking it over, she felt something was amiss. With the family's resources, they definitely didn't have that ability.

As for completely concealing Chadwick's whereabouts, Pinocchio at the time simply couldn't have done it.

So she made a bold guess…

This matter must also be related to the company and Yiting.

But the specific truth still needs to be obtained from Chadwick.

However, meeting the other party is the more troublesome part.

After all, she herself entered through illegitimate means.

Her strength is at most half, not to mention that she is an Intelligence Envoy, and combat (among the Envoys) is not her forte; technology is.

Of course, it's not to say that there's no chance of winning against the Commander; with his current strength, he's definitely not at a disadvantage.

A super brain paired with a super core, plus a super friend. It can kill the Commander (except for Abundant Evil Creatures).

but now…

The only option is to find a sucker to help.

Few people know the image of the Great Black Tower, let alone that I am now considered a semi-illegal immigrant.

So she found a relatively quiet place and sent a message to Xing.

Ask her to help you solve this problem.

She herself went to Liumeng Reef to see the expanding memory material up close.

And Xing lived up to the expectations of the Great Black Tower, bringing Chadwick out.

"You are... ah... the one who was chatting with the hound just now..."

“Hello, Calderon Chadwick. Let me introduce myself. I am Black Tower, a member of the Genius Club #83, and also the messenger of that big iron head,” Black Tower said with a hint of arrogance.

"So you're a genius..." Chadwick was a little surprised to hear the Black Tower's self-introduction. The girl in front of him, who looked somewhat like a witch, was actually a member of the Genius Club and his junior.

and…

Or is it an order?

"As a genius, I never expected you to be imprisoned by your family. I'm quite curious about what exactly restrained you. I remember that your family didn't have the power back then," the Great Black Tower asked.

“Sigh…you must have heard of *that thing*, right?” Chadwick said, though he tried to be evasive, the Great Black Tower understood. “Of course, but for me, that thing is dispensable. What intrigues me more is the study of imaginary numbers,” the Great Black Tower said directly.

"I see. Then just shatter my memories and take them away... I'm already dead, my memories are just bound by the Memory Garden." Chuckwick had clearly lost the will to live.

Perhaps the moment he personally activated the "imaginary number collapse pulse," he lost all hope of survival.

He felt guilty for his youthful arrogance and collaboration with the company to create such a deadly weapon, which resulted in the deaths of many innocent people.

They also clearly know that what they create will cause more innocent people to be hurt in the future.

So he erased all research, even his own memories, just to prevent this deadly weapon from falling into the company's hands and causing harm to more people.

I also sought help from ScrewGumm. Unfortunately, they were busy at the time.

Now a genius is standing before him, and the other party is even a messenger.

They weren't interested in that weapon either.

Therefore, he decided to entrust everything to the 'junior' in front of him.

All my research memories.

Chadwick's figure then disintegrated into pieces like jigsaw puzzle fragments, falling into the hands of the Great Black Tower.

Then it transformed into a stream of light and entered the brain of the Great Black Tower.

In an instant, the Great Black Tower had more ideas about the understanding of imaginary numbers.

And we also saw the imaginary number collapse pulse.

I lost interest after just a glance.

In her words...

"This pulse is less powerful than just throwing Ye Tianyu over there and letting her self-destruct. (Referring to the Pleasure Order causing death)" - Daheita's sharp comment.

Ye Tianyu: ?

Ye Tianyu (gritting his teeth): You're so 'humorous'!
Ye Tianyu: Do you really think I don't feel pain from self-destruction?! Are you trying to mess with me like a Japanese person?!
Ahem... Let's see what the others are doing right now?
Speaking of Ye Tianyu, let's see what he's up to.
While Ye Tianyu was discussing matters related to the Harmonious Music Ceremony with the Sunday siblings, Liu Ying was also present and kept watching Ye Tianyu, as if trying to get some answer.

However, when someone looked over, she turned her face away somewhat sullenly, pretending not to care.

However, while Ye Tianyu and the other person continued their discussion, he stared intently at him again.

This cycle repeated itself, leaving Ye Tianyu feeling somewhat helpless.

After thinking it over, and since the specific details had been discussed, Ye Tianyu said goodbye to the group and walked towards Liuying.

Seeing the other person approaching, Liu Ying suddenly felt a desire to back down.

But it was only for a moment.

"Let's go for a walk." Ye Tianyu could roughly guess why Liu Ying had come to him.

"Hmm..." Liu Ying understood that Ye Tianyu already knew what she wanted to say.

The two walked silently down the road.

Looking at the people on the road who were still laughing and playing, indulging in their decadent dreams, Liu Ying thought of the fierce battle that had just taken place.

What would they think if I told them that Pinocchio's dream almost shattered completely just now?
"Perhaps they will rebel against those who want to destroy their dreams."

The firefly pondered…

"What? Don't you understand?"

Liu Ying hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

She really didn't understand why they would stop them when they were clearly doing the right thing.

"Actually, this is very realistic. After all, the sweetness of a dream can make people forget the pain of reality. Once you get used to the feeling of a dream, you will hate the problems of reality."

After listening to Ye Tianyu's words, Liu Ying seemed to understand something and nodded.

　Ugh... I've been really busy with schoolwork lately... I haven't had much time to update...
